SASH ATTACH M ENT.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 429,536, dated June 3, 1890.

Application filed August 3, 1889. Serial No. 319,663. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, GEORGE HENRY KING, of Kansas City, in the county of Jackson and State of Missouri, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Sash Attachments; and I do herebydeclare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to whichit appertains to make and use the same.

My invention relates to an improvement in sash attachments whereby sashes are adapted to tilt, and more particularly being an improvement in the construction of the sashguide section as described in Letters Patent in improvement in windows, No. 363,397, and granted May 24, 1887.

The object is to provide a sash attachment knots in the sash-cords which protrude and rub against the window-jamb.

With these ends in view my invention consists in certain features of construction and combination of parts, as will be hereinafter described, and pointed out in the claims.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a view of the sash attachment, showing the interior construction. Fig. 2 is the same view as Fig. 1, with exception of the connection of the sash-cord, which shows the attachment reversed when used with the upper sash. Fig. 3 is a view of the connecting-rod of the attachments when used in conjunction with wide sashes. Fig. 4 is a perspective view of the sash-cord attachment; and Fig. 5 is an elevation of part of the attachment, showing the cord.

A A represent the attachments, each of which has a mitered end a, which makes a joint with the sash. I

The letters I) b I) represent lugs, preferably integral with the attachments, around which the sash-cord is placed in a zigzag manner and thus secured against endwise displacement without the use of a knot.

C is the perforation in one end of the attachment for reception of sash-cord.

D represents the perforation which receives .the sash-pivot, which is preferably an ordinary wood-screw, No. 16 or 18 wire, and 6 shows the perforation for reception of the connecting-rod.

The letters f f f indicate the lugs, around which the sash-cord is placed when the. attach ment is used with the upper sash.

H H represent the left and right handed screw ends of the connecting-rod. This rod or bar extends from one guide-section to the other and may be made in a single piece with right and left screw-threads at its outer ends. This rod or bar closes into a rabbet 1', formed in the upper rail of the upper sash and the lower rail of the lower sash.

In the construction as shown in Fig. 4 the end of the attachment is mitered as the most approved way of making a joint with the sash; but it is evident that it may be rabbeted, be made perfectly square across the end or in any other approved manner without departing from the scope of my invention, as the joint is covered by a thickened stop, as explained in a former patent, as herewithin referred to; and in. same manner and for said reason the attachments may be made with rabbeted joints or with projecting edge its full length instead of smooth surface, making face-joint with sash, as here shown.

Having in aforesaid patent granted May '24, 1887, No. 363,397, fully described the construction of sashes for the reception of the guide-sections and the relative length of the same, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, isv 1. A sash attachment consisting of a frame having a perforation therein for the passage of an attaching device and provided with lugs projecting alternately from opposite sides of the frame, the said lugs having blunt bearing-surfaces around which the sash-cord is passed, substantially as set forth.

2. A sash attachmenthaving one perforated end, and at a suitable distance therefrom a perforation for reception of sash-pivot, and at opposite end a perforation for the reception of a connecting rod or bar, substantially as setforth.

3. A sash attachment having a perforation for the reception of a sash-pivot, a perforation in one end for the reception of the sash-cord,

ternately from opposite sides thereof, thesaicl lugs having blunt edges overwhich the cord passes, substantially as set forth;

In testimony whereof I have signed this !5 specification in the presence of two subscribingwitnesses.

GEORGE HENRY KING.
